5 points of stealth detection raises your stealth detection by 1 level. So a level 70 player with 10 points of stealth detection can see stealthed targets as if he were a level 72 player.

Stealth works the same way. 5 points of stealth raises your effective stealth by 1 level. Rogues and druids can both spend talent points to get 15 points of increased stealth, raising their effective stealth by 3 levels.

The most stealth detection you can achieve is to be a human rogue, grouped with a warlock who has a felhunter out, wearing Catseye Ultra Goggles, drinking an Elixir of the Searching Eye, and using your racial Perception. This will get you a total of 119 points of stealth detection. However, the effect of vanish is as follows: . . . . . . . Rogue Ability - Vanish (enters an improved stealth mode for 10 sec) . . . . . . . Rank 1: +170 stealth http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=11327 . . . . . . . Rank 2: +270 stealth http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=11329 . . . . . . . Rank 3: +370 stealth http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=26888As you can see, it is not possible to have enough stealth detection to see an equal level rogue who has performed a vanish.

***** A special note regarding Invisibility and Invisibility Detection *****

Stealth is NOT invisibility and invisibility is NOT stealth.Stealth detection will NOT help you see invisible targets.Invisibility detection will NOT help you see stealthed targets.

Though it's classified as an elixir, it won't use up either your Guardian or Battle slot. Thus, you can use it with a flask or the combination of a battle and guardian elixir. However, it does not stack with Elixir of the Searching Eye, which will instead overwrite it.

This is a cheap and useful potion for BGs.I'm currently using this as a substitute for 'heightened senses', being an assination rogue I cannot take the talent without losing mutilate.This potion provides the same stealth detection as the talent 2/2 heightened sense gives.

...being an assination rogue...

I hope you mean assassination? ;-)

This + detect hidden in my hunter = dead rogue and feral druid. If I am facing them, I always see them from like 15 yards away.

For anybody who hasn't learned this by now

Stealth & Invisibility are two completely DIFFERENT things. Both have the same intent of hiding from enemy players/npcs, but the simliarity stops there.

Stealth is essentially a fading - only becoming visible when an opponent is close enough to the stealth target and dependent on modifiers such as NPC/Player Level, detection potions, etc. and direction

Invisibility is more like a phasing of the user, similar to phasing in regions for quests. Would-be attackers are unable to see an invisible targets unless they have a "Detect Invisible" mechanic or the target walks into a hunter flare.

Using detect invisible will not allow you to see stealthed targets.

Using stealth detection mechanics (e.g. catseye elixir) will not allow you to see an invisible target.

Hunter Flares will reveal both.

NPC guards with an eyeball above them as viewed while stealthed or invisible can see BOTH.
